Podcasts – Is Transcription a Good Idea?(2)

Filed Under forex trading software formac

Complete Verbatim is a transcript of absolutely everything said, including every repetition, verbal quirk or instances where people drift off in mid comment

with no logical end to a sentence. It endeavours to capture the conversational ‘style’ of the person, plus any dialect patterns and emotions where

applicable. This obviously increases the time it takes to transcribe a podcast and it can also make for a very tedious ‘read’! Most of us don’t talk in

completely coherent sentences, so this tends to be the least popular of the transcript style options. A good halfway house is an Edited Transcript which is

very useful for podcasts, particularly for guides and lessons where the content is critical but perhaps the style or verbal quirks of the speaker don’t need

to be included. Any incorrect grammar, non-standard English or mistakes are corrected and sentences are tidied up where it’s sensible to do so.

Once you’ve decided on the type of transcript you need, it may also be useful to consider Legal Transcription Brisbane times – how long it will actually take

to transcribe your podcast in to Audio Transcription Brisbane. The professional industry standard allows one hour to transcribe 15 minutes of clearly

recorded speech and turn it to be text using the Document Template Design. It therefore takes a minimum of 4 hours to transcribe a one hour recording and

sometimes as much as 6 hours depending on a number of factors. These include how clear the recording is, if an external microphone was used, the clarity and

speed of the voices and the number of people speaking, how coherently they speak and whether there are any difficult accents, plus whether any background

noise is intrusive or if there’s any industry specific or technical terminology involved. Our sister article to this discusses in more detail what factors

influence a clear podcast recording, and includes some tips to help you make a clear recording.
